I have 2 roads to heaven. 1 the road into calaise docks to come home. 2 as Dan says the A49 we truckers call it scenic rout to south wales.

[redelitev6]

  Road from Newcastle to Edinburgh via Wooler (avoid the A1 at all costs !) some tremendous scenery and never gets that busy 

[ninjapirate]

road to hell, m25 and getting to holloway to visit friends, bliss is hitting the m3 on way back
also,   hell is the a303 to cornwall, bliss is hitting the a30 in any direction lol especially hate the a303 at school holidays around stone henge

Prison or College?

The A303 is a mixed one for me. Used to take a lot of holidays in North Devon, so good from that point of view, but when it goes wrong it's not a nice place to be.

Best way is to tackle it a 4 AM. I remember, back before most of it was dual carriageway, making Camberley to Barnstable in a shade under 2 hours in an MG Montego (yes, making it at all was impressive, of course!). Oh, the pre-Gatso days.

 

LOL they have a house there     
took me 3.50mins from here (pretty much where the a303 starts) to porthallow on the lizard peninsula last time, the last stretch through all the tiny lanes takes the longest lol, with light traffic. its nice  on the A30 now its pretty much all dual carrigeway to penzance, and the gatso's are pretty much all off all the way

Hell = M6 friday afternoons (another dose coming tomorrow)
Bliss = A57 over the pennines at dawn on a sunday (ie no other tinker around so I can step the back end out )

Now think about what driving around the SE was like before the M25.

I live in Chatham, and used to see my grandparents in Crawley 45 miles away. That would take 2 hours, whether we went through Tonbridge and East Grinstead, or Sevenoaks and Redhill. I worked in Crawley for more years than I want to think about, and if it took an hour it had been a bad trip. 45 minutes is easy, and at the right time of day, 30 minutes.

Going to High Wycombe to see my great grandmother used to be an awful trip across Tolworth towards Slough and up. Took 3 hours each way if we were lucky. Now it's an hour, not that I've anyone to see there now!

Heathrow is an hour away. Or God knows how long around the South Circular or up to the river and out along the A4.

The M25 isn't the road to Hell, but the road around Hell! But all big cities are crap places to drive; try Paris!

[jonnycool]

Road to bliss .................... B1248 upto Malton then the A169 upto Whitby on a Sunday morning in summer before the bikers / coppers get out of bed 

Road to hell ................ Any road were coffin dodgers are sat nose to tail at 45 mph   

Gods own country, I remember it well.

My road to hell? Pretty much anywhere in the Uk now especially the Midlands and Birmingham.

Heaven? Granada to the Sierra Nevadas in southern Spain. You rise to 2250 metres above sea level and can see forever

That's a hard one to beat Varche, I'd love to see that

Hell! But all big cities are crap places to drive; try Paris!

Did that for 5 years in a british plated car.  An interesting experience I can tell you
